Global health
Strong healthcare systems are needed to address the increasingly complex and evolving global health challenges we face. They not only mitigate today’s risks but also anticipate future health threats, whether infectious or chronic.
Geopolitical instability, the escalating impacts of climate change, and rising incidence of diseases all require health systems and services that are resilient, adaptive and designed to meet real-world shocks and stresses head-on.
Advances in medicine and technology present unparalleled opportunities to improve clinical support, expand access to care and deliver preventative health services tailored to individual needs.
By focusing on the aspirations of our clients and the needs of local communities, we partner with stakeholders across the healthcare spectrum to deliver solutions that are ambitious, targeted and sustainable.
What can we do for you?
Our global health team’s expertise is outcome-driven, spanning strategy, delivery and evidence analysis. We work with you to develop practical, context-led approaches that address health challenges across under-resourced settings.
We design programmes that are tailored to deliver measurable impacts at regional, national and community levels, with a focus on building resilient health systems, and promoting equitable access to quality services.
Global health security
Our work addresses urgent global health threats, such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and high-burden communicable diseases. By promoting integrated approaches, such as One Health, private public partnerships and evidence-driven policy reforms, we help you to address complex health challenges.
Health system resilience
We apply a systems thinking framework to tackle health challenges at every level, integrating climate adaptation, political economy, inclusive financing, workforce development and community engagement.
Universal health coverage
We collaborate and innovate with governments, civil society, donors and the private sector to tackle inequitable access to care. We co-create solutions rooted in local social and economic realities to expand access to healthcare and achieve measurable progress toward universal health coverage.
Turning insight into impact
Learning and evidence are central to effective decision-making. Our approach includes tailored monitoring and feedback systems that generate timely insights, improve delivery, and inform decision making at every level.
We are the management agent for the UK’s Fleming Fund Grant Programme, supporting over 100 grantees in 25 countries throughout Africa and Asia to tackle AMR, with a focus on strengthening surveillance systems across human, animal and environmental health sectors.

Our experience
-
The Fleming Fund, Asia and AfricaImproved surveillance is urgently needed to strengthen the global response to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Since 2016, we have managed the Fleming Fund: a UK aid programme supporting countries in Asia and Africa to tackle AMR through a portfolio of country and regional grants, global projects and a fellowship scheme. The Fleming Fund promotes an integrated One Health approach through coordinated institutional and workforce strengthening and information sharing across human, animal and environmental health sectors.

COVAX Initiative, PakistanWe provided monitoring services for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to improve equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines. We worked with local partners to conduct field monitoring and site verification visits and provided technical support, data management and evidence analysis services for progress reporting.

Better Health Programme, South AfricaWe led this programme for the UK’s Prosperity Fund to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity. Through a collaboration with the national Department of Health, non-government and academic partners, we supported the finalisation of a new national strategic plan to address NCDs. This was accompanied by a comprehensive communications strategy and training programme for community health workers to promote healthier lifestyles.

Food Fortification Programme, PakistanAs many as 37.5M people in Pakistan are impacted by malnutrition. We managed this five-year programme, funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), to increase production and access to wheat flour fortified with iron and folic acid and edible oils fortified with vitamin A. The programme worked with 1,000 wheat mills and 100 oil mills, focusing on quality control, regulatory compliance, testing, storage, distribution and affordability.

KalaCORE and ASCEND, Africa and South AsiaVisceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a debilitating vector-borne disease and fatal in 95% of untreated cases. We led the KalaCORE programme, funded by DFID to tackle VL in six countries across Africa and South Asia with a target population of 128 million people. We also led the successor programme, ASCEND, and delivered health systems strengthening initiatives on controlling and eliminating five priority neglected tropical diseases in west and central Africa.
